Louiz Banks, hailed as the Godfather of Indian Jazz, is celebrated for his groundbreaking contributions to music and his remarkable journey into visual art. With a career spanning over five decades, Banks has redefined jazz in India through collaborations with legends like R.D. Burman and Bappi Lahiri and iconic jingles for brands such as Gold Spot and Britannia, earning him the title of "Jingle King." Banks with Prinseps now ventures into visual art, pioneering fusion of music and painting
This exhibition introduces an innovative fusion of music and art through 35 exclusive multimedia NFTs. These NFTs, ideated and implemented by Prinseps, pair Banks’ original jazz compositions with his paintings, bringing each piece to life as it "dances" to his music. This showcase offers a glimpse into a larger collection that will expand to over 1,200 NFTs, providing a pioneering multisensory experience and redefining the intersection of traditional art and technology.
Prinseps is proud to curate this unique event as part of our commitment to preserving and redefining artistic legacies. As an avant-garde research and discovery platform, we have been at the forefront of rediscovering and celebrating the forgotten estates of artists like Atul Bose, Gobardhan Ash, and Bhanu Athaiya. Alongside this, we lead in the exploration of digital art and tokenization, bridging traditional art forms with cutting-edge technology to shape the future of artistic expression.
We invite you to immerse yourself in this extraordinary journey, where music and visual art come together to create an unforgettable multisensory experience.
